Venevision Intl.’s acquisitions are mainly channeled through 24-hour pay TV service VeneMovies, dedicated to airing films from Spain and Latin America. (From July, VeneMovies will be re-baptized as ViendoMovies.)

A pioneering and voracious buyer of Spanish films for the U.S. Hispanic market, Venevision Intl. has taken rights on more than 400 films handled by Spanish sellers, company’s Madrid-based acquisitions exec Jose Ramon Ganchegui said at Madrid de Cine.

“For Spanish movies’ distribution in the U.S. Hispanic market, leadership in the VOD window will be key for the future,” Ganchegui said.
